Cen Shen (715-770)

Iron Gate Pass Cen Shen (Tang)

Iron Gate Pass at world's edge, Few travelers to be seen. One lowly official closes the gate, All day just see stone walls. Mountain bridge, a thousand dangerous steps, Narrow road winds between sharp cliffs. I climbing west tower to look, One glance and my head turns white!
